Capacity management is a key component in Panduit’s SmartZone Solution that optimizes power, space, cooling and connectivity to extend the life of the data center

Gartner has named Panduit a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Tools. 17 vendors were positioned in the quadrant upon Gartner’s thorough evaluation of proficiencies for completeness of vision and ability to execute.

David Cappuccio, Gartner VP and Distinguished Analyst – Chief of Data Center Research, stated, “As older data centers near capacity in space, power or cooling, IT leaders must decide what solution is best for the business. The traditional model was always to build another site, but that may no longer be the right solution for many reasons.”

“Many customers experience challenges maximizing the use of their physical infrastructure resources. This leads to inefficient data center operations which may lead to premature capital expenditures in new data center build out. Capacity management is a key component in Panduit’s SmartZone Solution that optimizes power, space, cooling and connectivity to extend the life of the data center,” stated Marc Naese, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Panduit’s Data Center business unit.
